After exchanging contact information, Xia Che left.
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye, and a new day began.
Xiao Yihan was very helpful. Although the Jiang City Police Department was busy and the law enforcement officers were all extremely busy, Xiao Yihan did not give Xia Che's request a perfunctory answer.
Having served as a law enforcement officer for so many years, Xiao Yihan knew exactly how to spread the message.
The most truthful news isn't necessarily 100% true; it's 90% true plus 10% false. All of this information is broken down and then spread.
Leaving room for others to speculate and let them piece together the story themselves—that's the kind of news that's qualified enough to attract criminals.
Xiao Yihan did not directly name anyone as Chu Yuying, but instead presented all the evidence in a speculative manner, leaving it to others to guess.
With this entire process and the speed of dissemination by the police station's publicity department, the news was covered throughout Jiang City in just half a day.
Those who are interested in the psychic community need no further explanation; even without the police deliberately spreading the news, they would have access to the latest information. However, thanks to Xiao Yihan's manipulation, even those who don't care about the psychic community have seen the news.
Someone is impersonating a top-tier psychic and scamming people in Jiang City.
By piecing together the fragmented information disseminated by the police, the above conclusions were reached.
Jiang City, Haiyun Residential Area.
Bang bang bang!
Feng Tianming and his wife were awakened from their deep sleep by a loud noise that sounded like they were banging on the door.
Who is it?
Feng Tianming patted his frightened wife on the back and shouted angrily outside.
The family spent the night in Qinghe Village the day before yesterday, but couldn't resist the warm invitation from their relatives, so they had to stay another day.
Having drunk heavily for two days in a row, Feng Tianming only got home last night. Now, due to a hangover, he has a terrible headache and wanted to sleep in, but he was woken up early this morning, so his tone was naturally not very pleasant.
"Dad, Mom! Come out quickly, we..."
Feng Yang's voice trembled slightly with a hint of a sob, and even cracked a little: "We've been tricked!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianming and his wife exchanged a glance, and a chilling feeling instantly welled up in their hearts.
...
Feng Yang placed his phone on the coffee table in the living room and spent a great deal of effort explaining the new message released by the police station to the two of them.
"In short... this person impersonating Chu is very likely a fraudster."
Feng Yang's mouth was dry from talking, so he picked up a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp. He then wiped his mouth, but the satisfaction of quenching his thirst did nothing to improve his mood.
"But...isn't Xiao Chu your classmate? He can't be a scammer, can he?"
Even with the facts laid bare before him, Feng Tianming still refused to accept reality. The consequences of being scammed were too great for him to bear. "Look at the news released by the police station," he said, "they didn't name the scammers. What if it wasn't them?"
All of their family's savings had been transferred to Chu Yuying. If she was a fraud, wouldn't that mean...?
All their family's hard work over the years is going to go down the drain?
"I don't know... what if Chu's reputation at school has actually been a lie all along?"
Feng Yang shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world. The police have already issued a notice, and it just so happens that Chu is not a scammer. She just finished taking our business and then it was exposed that someone was scamming us... The probability of this is too low. It is very likely that she has scammed our whole family."
"Oh my god..."
Mother Feng covered her face with her hands and let out a trembling sigh.
The possibility that Feng Tianming just mentioned is really too small, but in any case, it is at least a glimmer of hope.
Now that Feng Yang had denied it, Feng's mother felt a sudden dizziness.
Her world collapsed.
Feng Tianming plopped down on the sofa, not uttering a word, and silently smoked a cigarette.
His tightly furrowed brows and dark complexion clearly showed that Feng Tianming was in an extremely bad mood.
"No! I... I need to find Chu Yuying, at least to get to the bottom of this in person."
Feng Yang felt that sitting there idly was not a solution, and the atmosphere was too oppressive. The air seemed to have condensed into water, and Feng Yang even felt like he could hardly breathe.
"Is it possible to contact her?"
Upon hearing this, Feng's mother's hope was instantly rekindled.
"It should be possible... If Chu Yuying is unaware that her identity as a con artist has been exposed, I think it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a meeting."
Feng Yang said earnestly.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Feng's mother grabbed Feng Yang's wrist, flustered, and said, "I'll go with you! We'll go... to find that swindler! We'll demand an explanation, yes! We absolutely must get an explanation!"
Feng's mother grabbed Feng Yang and was about to leave. Feng Yang wanted to say something, but seeing his mother like this, he ultimately didn't say anything.
The two had only taken a few steps when Feng Tianming waved his hand to stop them.
"Let Yangyang go by herself, don't follow her."
Feng Tianming let out a deep breath, took out his cigarette case, and lit a cigarette. Instantly, thick smoke rose and obscured his face.
"But... Yangyang is still so young, and we know she's a fraud, why would we let her go alone?"
Upon hearing this, Feng's mother immediately became anxious, as the situation was now quite different from before.
Previously, no one knew that Chu Yuying was a fraud, so it was acceptable for Feng Yang to go, since even disregarding the identity of the Ultimate High School Level Psychic, Feng Yang and Chu Yuying were classmates from different schools.
But what about now?
Chu Yuying is a liar. The Jiang City Police Department has already made a statement about it. Even if they didn't name names, it was just something they said to comfort themselves. In fact, none of the three people present believed that Chu Yuying wasn't a liar.
Why send Feng Yang alone to contact such a dangerous person?
Feng's mother was really worried.
"It's precisely because she's a fraud that Yangyang's trip is more effective than ours."
Feng Tianming held the cigarette between his fingers and rubbed his temples.
To be honest, even now, he still can't accept this reality.
If Chu Yuying really is a fraud...
How exactly did she manage to make her acting so convincing?
Feng Tianming had his doubts, but even with his most critical eye, he couldn't find the slightest flaw in Chu Yuying.
It's so realistic.
Many of these things were experiences only the Feng family had gone through. How did Chu Yuying know them?
Where did she get the information?
Is it that the scammer industry is too amazing, or that Chu Yuying is too amazing?
